Colours: Blue and gold

Position finished last season: Third

Players in: Alonza Hadlam (Harbour View/Sporting Central)

Players out: Kemeel Wolfe (Portmore)

Coach: Donovan Hayles

Coach says: Harbour View continue to recruit from within and have graduated quite a number of Under-21 players and with the senior players that were here last year my expectations are high. We are going to make a serious challenge for the title. We made a strong challenge last year, but this year want to deliver.

We say: After losing Brazillian coach Waldermar de Olivera midway last season Harbour View tried, under reappointed coach, Donovan Hayles, but could not gain enough momentum to take them to the title. This year, Hayles is still in charge and with no new players coming in as a result of their celebrated Under-21 structure, Harbour View are hopeful that their organisational capacity and talent pool will return them to the top. But will this be case? Our prediction, another third place finish.

Colours: White (home), Blue (away)

Position finished last season: Second

Players in: Gary McIntosh (Reno), Kemeel Wolfe (Harbour View)

Players out: Eric Vernan (Norway), Adrian Reid (Norway), Damion Williams (Norway)

Coach: Linval Dixon

Coach says: Our expectations are to try and win back the league. Preparations have been going well and we are pretty much prepared. Everybody is working hard in anticipation of a positive start. We still have the nucleus of the team from last year and this should serve us well.

We say: With memories of a goal-difference title defeat still fresh in their minds, Portmore will enter the season with revenge on their minds and given their ever-improving organisational structure, it would take a brave man to bet against this happening.

Unlike any other team in the competition, they spent some of their pre-season in Europe, and with a talented Under-21 group from last season, they should definitely be title contenders. Whether or not they will be engaged in another final weekend decider is another question. Our prediction, another second-place finish.

Colours: Orange and Black

Position finished last season: Champions

Players in: Keammar Daley (Meadhaven), Nackwayne Parchment (Meadhaven), Horace Sharpe (Arnett), Julian McLiesh (Arnett), Phillip Peddie (Maverley)

Players out: Jermaine Gray (Arnett), Dwayne Ford (Boys' Town), Damion Crooks (Humble Lions), Jermaine Simpson (August Town)

Coach: Lenworth Hyde

Coach says: We have to defend our title first and foremost. We are confident but not overconfident. We have some new players and have been working hard and the preseason have been going excellent. The hope now is that there are few injuries and everybody keeps fit and healthy.

We say: Tivoli last season dethroned Portmore on goal difference after being a good distance off the pace heading into the final round. This season with new players such as former Meadhaven playmaker, Keammar Daley, the hope will be for a repeat of last season's victory and with players such Roland Dean and Navion Boyd in their line-up, and a very disciplined and principled coach in Lenworth Hyde Sr to boost their fans will ask why not? Our prediction, champions.

Colours: Red, Green, Blue

Position finished last season: 10th

Players in: Kemar Cockburn (Bull Bay), Donovan Bernard (Arnett), Sheldon Smith (Arnett), Raymond Williamson (Meadhaven), Kevin Graham (Meadhaven), Dean-Paul Grandison (Meadhaven), Jermaine Simpson (Tivoli).

Players out: Alonza Adlam (Harbour View/Sporting Central)

Coach: Donovan Duckie

Coach says: It's a young team and a number of exciting payers are here, especially whose who have stepped up from Under-21. It's the club's third year in the league and they really want to make their mark this season. The aim is to go to the end of round finals, then the top six and then see if the title is in our reach.

We say: Having very narrowly missed relegation last season, Sporting Central, who will be hoping to turn things around significantly and get back to among the top six best teams. In doing this, they have acquired the services of the well-respected Donovan Duckie, who believes given the club's abundance of talent, they have what it takes to go all the way. Could this be the year that Sporting Central upset the top teams? Only time will tell. Our prediction, a promotion to sixth.

Team: Arnett Gardens FC

Colours: Red and black

Position finished last season: Fifth

Players in: Garfield Gillespie (Boys' Town), Dwayne Plummer (Reno), Akeeli Martin (Tivoli/Real Mona), Jermaine Gray (Tivoli), Ryan Reid (Tivoli), Lennox Creary (Meadhaven), Rohan Reid (Meadhaven), Craig Morrison (Portmore/Rivoli), Leighton Murray (Harbour View/Sporting Central)

Players out: Julian McLiesh (Tivoli), Horace Sharpe (Tivoli), Jermaine Miller (York/Rivoli)

Asst Coach: Calvin Lewis

Asst Coach says: Having finished on a high last season, the expectations are high this year. We have the players and it is for them to come and deliver on the day. We have a few new, exciting players and may take a while for them to settle in. But its a long season and we will get there.

We say: Arnett, under the guidance of player/coach Fabian Davis, would have restored pride and confidence among their legion of supporters last season after finishing a creditable fifth, one point behind fourth-place Boys' Town, and one ahead of rivals Waterhouse. This season with the addition of a few new faces the 'Junglists' will be hoping to repeat that finishing form and at least break into the top six for a title assault. Our prediction, a drop to seventh place.

Colours: Red and white (home), Blue and white (away)

Position finished last season: Promoted (KSAFA Super League Champions)

Players in: Kemar Cockburn (Bull Bay), Donovan Bernard (Arnett), Sheldon Smith (Arnett), Raymond Williamson (Meadhaven), Kevin Graham (Meadhaven), Dean-Paul Grandison (Meadhaven), Jermaine Simpson (Tivoli).

Players out: None

Coach: Calvert Fitzgerald

Coach says: The aim is to first and foremost cement our place after a one year absence. We have a very competitive team and a fighting chance of competing for the league. We have played some preseason games and have had favourable results and the response from the guys in training has been tremendous.

We say: After a one-year absence, August Town make a return to the top flight, aiming to avoid another drop. They have been having success under another well travelled Premier League coach, Calvert Fitzgerald, and having finished in the top four of the inaugural preseason KSAFA Champions League, believe they have what is to compete, and compete effectively. Whether or not this is feasible reality is still left to be seen? Our prediction, demotion.

Colours: Red, green, gold

Position finished last season: Promoted (South Central Super League Champions)

Players in: Sheldon Brown (Portmore), Damion Crooks (Tivoli), Sean Coleman (Rivoli), Zico Herrera (Boys' Town), Marada Brown, Geoffrey Baker (Bodles), Errol Wilkie

Players out: None

Coach: Christopher Bender

Coach says: The aim is to consolidate our position and stay in the league. Realistically, we think we can achieve this as our preparations have been going good and we have a number of good new players. The community of Effortville is really upbeat and excited.

We say: Humble Lions come to the party with high on expectations, especially given their strong Effortville, Clarendon, support. But can this enthusiasm be transformed into genuine results and allow them to stay afloat in what in the nation's premier football showpiece? Well, the Humble Lions management and coaching staff, headed by Member of Parliament Mike Henry and coach Christopher Bender certainly believe so. But will this be enough? Only time will tell. Our prediction, demotion.

Colours: Red and gold

Position finished last season: ninth

Players in: Lance Laing (Harbour View). The club is in negotiations with Seba United's Delroy Ellis and Ricardo Geddes.

Players out: Goalkeeper Jacomena Barrett (Humble Lions)

Coach says: (Cassman Williams) - We will be looking to build on the foundation we set with the youngsters towards the end of last season. Once the players apply themselves and measure up to their full potential, I am expecting good things from them.

Some of my players are still overseas but our preseason preparation has been going quite well. In fact, based on what I am seeing, I am seriously looking at a top four finish this season.

We say: Having managed to rebound from what looked like certain relegation last season to finish ahead of Sporting Central and the relegated Reno FC and Meadhaven United, Village United are without a doubt deserving of their place in the DPL.

In fact, some pundits believe that had the team not been so unsettled because of the alarming regularity with which they changed coaches (four during the season), they would have done much better.

With coach Cassman Williams, who came in late in last year's campaign to stabilise the team and guide them away from relegation, now firmly in control, a top six finish for Village United looks a safe bet.

Colours: Red and white

Position finished last season: Fourth

Players in: Dwayne Ford

Players out: Garfield Gillespie and Zico Herrera

Coach: Andrew Price

Coach says: We would like to improve our defence because we conceded 48 goals last season and this is too much for a team that is challenging for the title. However, despite this, we were the leading scorers with 58 goals. I think that every year we put a good challenge for the title, but what we need is consistency and I believe that once the players can do this, then we should be a force to be reckoned with.

We say: If Boys' Town can maintain a high level of consistency throughout each round of the competition, they should give themselves a chance of winning the title. However, they sometimes seem to panic at crucial points of the season, which has proven to be their major downfall over the years.

Colours: Red and black

Position finished last season: Seventh

Players in: Kirk Ramsey, Garfield Reid, Kemar Brown

Players out: Shane Coleman and Christopher Jackson

Coach: Bradley Stewart

Coach says: Our aim is to get into the top six, so that we can be able to challenge for the title. However, we will have to try and be consistent in each round and try to accumulate as many points as possible. I have a lot of confidence in our players and I know that they have the ability to do it.

We say: Rivoli United missed out on a place in the top six in last year's competition by just four points and in the process, have proven they can compete with the top teams. They have also shown that they are no pushovers and they were regarded as the giant killers of the competition. With national striker Devon Hodges, who was leading scorer last season up front, we believe that Rivoli can be the surprise team in the competition.

Colours: Blue and yellow

Position finished last season: Sixth

Players in: Weston Forrest

Players out: Garfield Reid and Kirk Ramsey

Coad: Geoffrey Maxwell

Gen Sec Felix Porter says: We want to win all the five titles that are up for grabs this season. I think that winning the KSAFA Champions League competition is a good motivation for our players and a good place to start.

We say: A number of coaching changes and a lack of consistency have forced the once dominant and fearful Waterhouse down the pecking order in last season's competition. However, having just won the KSAFA Champions Cup competition recently under the guidance of much-travelled coach Geoffrey Maxwell, the Drewsland based-side is buzzing with confidence and ready to mount a serious challenge for the title.

Colours: Red and white

Position finished last season: Eighth

Players in: Jermaine Taylor, Shawn Hunt, Nigel Reid, Ricardo Scott and Dervan Brown.

Players out: none

Coach says: We want to make sure that we do a lot better than our past two seasons because our aim for this season is to make it into the top six and once we do this, then it is a big plus for us. We will have to be very consistent in every round in order to achieve our goals. I think that we have some quality players to do it and we have brought in some additional players who are also very good.

We say: Consistency will be the key for St Georges this season. If they can maintain a good level of consistency, with national defender Jermaine Taylor back in their team, we believe that they should be able to challenge for a spot in the top six of the competition.
